Exploring Rapid Point-To-Point Logistics With Commercial Rockets
The US Air Force has launched an evaluation of point-to-point cargo delivery using a SpaceX rocket, as part of the Rocket Cargo project. The recent launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, utilized a SpaceX Starfall capsule to measure temperature, shock, and vibration of cargo environments during launch, flight, and re-entry. The project aims to explore the viability of using commercial liquid-fuelled rockets for rapid cargo delivery anywhere on Earth. This development was reported by FlightGlobal.
